Aside from the crazy, are those any good? I loved Fear and Loathing (book and film), and I've been meaning to keep an eye open for them.

I finished watching Mission: Impossible with my mum, and she flicked to TV - I usually never watch it, but there's a Beatles tribute concert on, with covers of the entire White Album. This being quite possibly my favourite album of all time, I just had to look; unfortunately, being so intimate with the original music means I'm fairly critical of these covers. Seems to me that a celebration of The Beatles' music should focus on what they actually did, not what these musicians turned their music into later on. There are horrible Danish accents and second-rate musicians galore, but at least they got Blackbird right.

There's one section where he's analyzing Freud's "Cocaine Papers". He's having a little bit of a tough time of it because he though it would be a good idea to do a line or 7 of blow prior to analysis.

Bloody weirdo

fair enough though, I'll see if I can't track it down sometime. Sounds good.

Oh, and the concert finally wrapped. I'd have rather listened to the album again, but at least they made Number 9 less weird.

Abbey Road's always been my favorite Beatles album.

Well, they're all great. White Album just happened to be my introduction to The Beatles, and I know most of it by heart - Abbey Road I've only heard all of a couple of times. Love the Mean Mr. Mustard/Polythene Pam medley, though

I've heard that, there are some pretty good songs off that album. It's interesting (to me anyway) how well their stuff translates to acoustic sets considering how, well, loud most of it is. I really like that version of "Best of You."

I saw that PBS 50's pop parade in 07, and his voice is nearly gone. Of course just getting up there and trying at his age is something. Moon River,Most Wonderful Time of the Year,etc. will always be classics though.

Ed Ames on the other hand, has still got it.

Thank you, Zoners, for the kindness, tolerance, and enlightenment you've shared with me. It may not have been deserved, but it was greatly appreciated nonetheless. Soupy twist.
